Puss Reboots

Today beings the Armchair Traveler Challenge. All reviews should be linked to this sticky post on A Life in Book's blog.

A Life in Books is hosting the Armchair Traveler reading challenge.

Here are the rules:

• The challenge runs from July 1 through December 31 during which time you must read six books that fall under the "armchair traveling" theme.
• Fiction or non-fiction works are fine, and do not need to be specifically travel related, as long as the location is integral to the book - I'll leave that to your discretion. Locations must be actual places that you could visit, so no Middle Earths or galaxies far, far away.
• Books may be cross-posted to other challenges, but you cannot count any books read prior to July 1st.
• To join, make a post outlining your six choices and link to that post below. Because I like to have a little wiggle room, you can opt to switch out books throughout the challenge.
• And yes, there will be prizes!

Here are my books:

1. Condominium by John D. MacDonald (Florida Keys)
2. Anything Considered by Peter Mayle (Monaco)
3. Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters (Valley of the Kings)
4. Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain (Mississippi River)
5. The Long Valley by John Steinbeck (Salinas California)
6. Riding the Iron Rooster by Paul Theroux (Northern China)
7. Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge by Jill Fredston (Artic Circle)

I plan on posting some alternates when I have more time to look through my shelves. I will post reviews for all the books on my main blog:
